“Love Hope Faith” was created with some of the leading songwriters in music today, Jeff Hyde (“Lookin’ for a Hand Out”) and Jeffrey Steele, Jeremy Popoff, Shane Minor, Vicky McGehee (Bad Day feat. Rizzi Myers), to Jaren Johnston, Neil Mason and Jesse Frasure (“Dirt Road Disco”) to Walker Hayes and Thomas Archer (“No Rest”), Eric Dodd and Alex Hall (“Dynamite”) and Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins, David Lee Murphy (Keepin’ It Real feat. Granger Smith). Still, it is the sturdy persona of Colt Ford that gives them their consistency.“There are a lot of different styles on this album, but I think my fans will hear it’s just me,” said Ford. “As long as I remain true to myself, I can delve into all of them.”
